Entering the Art Hole

Published: Nov. 21, 2019, 1:03 a.m.

After having her second child, and then a third shortly thereafter, Ashley Bradley learned that while she loves her kids (and they will get fed), she must feed herself with a steady diet of creative pursuits. As a self-taught graphic artist and illustrator, Ashley has grappled with the creative demons that plague many of us.

In this episode Ashley and I talk about:

  • The innate creativity we all have and how we MUST express it in some way
  • Imposter syndrome and taking baby steps to work through that
  • How saying YES to creative opportunities can push us even when it's scary and we don't feel ready
  • And the art hole...the space where Ashley creates
